Welcome to AppTree Software!

Thanks for using our products and services (“Services”). The Services are provided by AppTree Software Inc. (“AppTree”), located at 1231 NW Hoyt Street, Ste 205, Portland OR 97209, United States.

By using our Services, you are agreeing to these terms. Please read them carefully.

This Agreement between AppTree Software and you governs your use of our products and services (“Services”), and the websites, web services and APIs within the apptreesoftware.com domain including, without limitation, all content such as text, information, images, applications, templates software and other information, services and materials (collectively, the “Services”) and all information made available to you or by you through the Services by AppTree Software, and it’s suppliers and distributors. The "Customer" shall mean the entity or person invoiced by AppTree Software for use of the Service, and “You” or “User” shall mean a unique user of the Service whether a Customer or not (as defined by unique username, URL, IP address or other unique identification).

This Agreement comprises the entire agreement between you and AppTree Software and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties regarding the subject matter contained herein.

Using our Services

You must follow any policies made available to you within the Services.

Don’t misuse our Services. For example, don’t interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide. You may use our Services only as permitted by law, including applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations.

We may suspend or stop providing our Services to you if you do not comply with our terms or policies or if we are investigating suspected misconduct.

Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access. Don’t remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.

Our Services display some content that is not AppTree Software’s. This content is the sole responsibility of the entity that makes it available. We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don’t assume that we do.

In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative messages, and other information. You may opt out of some of those communications.

Some of our Services are available on mobile devices. Do not use such Services in a way that distracts you and prevents you from obeying traffic or safety laws.

Age

The Service is only available to individuals aged 13 years or older (or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from children under 13, or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction.

To use the Service, you cannot be a person barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions, including the country in which you reside or from where you use the Service. By accepting this Agreement, you represent that you understand and agree to the foregoing.

Devices and Accounts

Use of the Service may require compatible devices, Internet access, and certain software; may require periodic updates; and may be affected by the performance of these factors. The latest version of required software may be required for certain transactions or features. You agree that meeting these requirements is your responsibility.
Use of Location-based Services

AppTree Software may provide certain features or services that rely upon device-based location information using GPS (where available) and crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations.

You may withdraw consent for collection, use, transmission, processing and maintenance of location and Account data at any time by not using the location-based features and turning off the Location Services settings on your device. Any location data provided by the Service is not intended to be relied upon in situations where precise location information is needed or where erroneous, inaccurate, time-delayed or incomplete location data may lead to death, personal injury, property or environmental damage. AppTree Software does not guarantee the availability, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of location data or any other data displayed by the Service. LOCATION-BASED SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED OR SUITABLE FOR USE AS AN EMERGENCY LOCATOR SYSTEM.

About Software in our Services

When a Service requires or includes downloadable software, this software may update automatically on your device once a new version or feature is available. Some Services may let you adjust your automatic update settings.

AppTree Software gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software provided to you by AppTree Software as part of the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services as provided by AppTree Software, in the manner permitted by these terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Services or included software, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless laws prohibit those restrictions or you have our written permission.

Terminating our Services

AppTree Software Accounts are pre-paid and are non refundable. AppTree Software does not provide refunds or credits for any partial months of use of the service. You may cancel your AppTree Software Account at anytime, which will be effective immediately. If you wish to cancel your AppTree Software Account you may do so via your “Account” page, or otherwise as instructed. Should you elect to cancel your AppTree Software Account, please note that you will not be issued a refund for any charged and paid fees.

This Agreement shall commence on the date of availability of the Services and will remain in effect for an initial term of contract as stipulated online at the AppTree Software website or separately agreed between the Parties (the “Initial Term”); any exception may only be granted by AppTree Software in writing. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal in duration to the Initial Term at the then current fees, if applicable, unless Customer specifically terminates the Services online on AppTree Software‘s website or AppTree Software specifically terminates for any other reason as defined herein.

If either party is in material breach of this Agreement, the other party is entitled to terminate this Agreement for cause after having given the breaching party a written notice of no less than ten (10) days, if the breaching party has not remedied the breach to the satisfaction of the other party.

For the avoidance of doubt, any termination by either of the parties or the expiry of the term of this Agreement shall only have effect for the future, and shall have no retroactive effects.

You agree and acknowledge that AppTree Software has no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data without prior notice (i) if You have materially breached this Agreement, including but not limited to failure to pay outstanding fees, and such breach has not been cured within ten (10) days’ notice of such breach or (ii) upon termination of this Agreement for any reason. If the Customer and/or User require AppTree Software to assist in restoring Customer Data that has been deleted, if such recovery is possible, AppTree Software will be entitled to request payment, at AppTree Software standard rates, for such work.
